Bärengasse 16, Zürich | 2024
As the title “grinding on concrete” already announces, the artworks refer to skateboarding and its soundscape. You can hear a skateboarder from very far away when the hard wheels hit the asphalt. How you push, how fast you go, how securely you stand on the board... All this is revealed by the various sounds that emanate from a skateboard. These sounds have been with Ata Bozaci for over 35 years. So it’s time to turn them into art.

Acrylic on paper, Monotype | 2021
A monotype is a work that is printed manually and therefore each one is unique. The black paper is printed with highly pigmented silver. Silver reflects and black absorbs the light, so the contrast is particularly strong. This color combination is often used in “street bombing”.

The series “Unexpected interruption” are the first abstract works that the artist makes available to his audience. These works combine many aspects of his creation. The focus is on the fragility of large systems. 911 was a key moment that left its mark on his work. Nothing is “too big to fail”, says the artist.

The Matterhorn is the most famous mountain in Switzerland. Here it is represented in a geometrical language. This work was made with the latest laser technology. The MDF panels were lasered in their raw state or with a white or gray coating. The differences in height give the work a three-dimensional appearance. The movement of the viewer brings the work to life.

Blind Jockey
140 x 100 cm
Fine art print on cottonpaper | 2017
For centuries, thousands and thousands of people have watched galloping horses. And yet, apparently, not one of them has noticed what it “really” looks like when a horse gallops. Great and small masters liked to make the fiery animals float in the air with their legs stretched ou. It was only about a hundred and fifty years ago, when the photographic camera had been sufficiently perfected, that these photographs showed that both painter and audience had been subject to deception all along.

The cockroach dresses in black and causes disgust in many people. The dragonfly, on the other hand, glitters beautifully in all the colors of the rainbow and thus captivates us. Both are insects. One is attractive and the other repulsive. Opposites attract and a “roachfly - Schabelle” is created.

Jardin Orange, Shenzhen | 2016
The “Online baby” was created during the development of the artist residency Jardin Orange in 2016. Six years earlier, the artist traveled with his longtime friend Fouad (Ceet) Ben Allal to various cities in China to exhibit. Ceet stayed and organized different events including this residency and exhibition in Shenzhen. Various international artists were invited to transform the newly emerging settlement into an open air gallery. This colorful work is the main work of the series “Living in a box”.
Perfect baby
100 x 140 cm
Fine art print on cottonpaper | 2016
Who doesn't hope that their offspring will enter the world healthy and strong? No one wants to raise a disabled child. Medicine offers us more and more possibilities to give birth in a controlled way. Is the pursuit of a perfect baby legitimate or immoral? And where does this thought drive us? The artist asked himself these and similar questions after the miscarriage of his son (Marley Bozaci R.I.P.).

With an air of cultivated nonchalance, today’s hipster snaps a selfie with his smartphone, posts it on Facebook instantly and awaits the virtual thumbs-up from his friends across the globe. Exhibtionism to this degree was inconceivable before the birth and subsequent popularity of social media. When Andy Warhol exclaimed in 1968 that everyone would get their “fifteen seconds of fame” in the future, he could not have imagined today’s fast-paced world of micro-moments. Our attention span has shrunk so dramatically since Warhol’s time that his fifteen minutes have been shortened to fifteen seconds of fame.
His portraits emphasize an iconic aspect of social media culture, the portrait photographs serving as user profile pictures on social media sites. Using full-frontal portrait shots to focus on his subjects’ facial features, the artist has successfully assembled a gallery of faces, or quite literally, a “face book”.
